What is Buwakan ni Alejandra?

Located along the Cebu Transcentral Highway, about an hour from Cebu City, Buwakan ni Alejandra is a 700-square-meter garden. Approximately 200 kinds of flora and fauna can be found there, including a variety of flowering plants.

In honor of Eleuterio Gentap’s own mother-in-law, this attraction was named. In addition to being a councilman, Gentap also serves as the landscaper for the flower garden.

The word “buwak” is translated as “flowers” in Cebuano, the predominant language spoken in the Visayas. The word “buwakan” thus comes to mean “flower garden.”
